We are a world-class supplier of engineering raw materials. Our objective is to provide all our customers, from the small machine shop to the large multi-national corporation, a supply path that continuously delivers the highest levels of service, quality and value.
Recently developed to meet European Environmental Protection Directives, 6026 aluminium alloy offers excellent corrosion resistance and is suitable for anodising to provide both decorative and hard anodised finishes.
The alloy does not contain Tin (Sn) as the inclusion of this element may cause cracking in machined parts when subjected to stress and high temperature. 6026 is highly suitable for extensive machining, especially in use with high-speed automatic lathes.
6026 commercial aluminium alloy offers excellent corrosion resistance and is suitable for anodising.
